Connections via Bäcklund transformations among different nonlinear evolution equations are investigated aiming to compare corresponding Abelian and non Abelian results. Specifically, links, via Bäcklund transformations, connecting Burgers and KdV-type hierarchies of nonlinear evolution equations are studied. Crucial differences as well as notable similarities between Bäcklund charts in the case of the Burgers-heat equation, on one side, and KdV-type equations, on the other, are considered. The Bäcklund charts constructed in [16] and [17], respectively, to connect Burgers and KdV-type hierarchies of operator nonlinear evolution equations show that the structures, in the non-commutative cases, are richer than the corresponding commutative ones.
